Louis Majorelle Mahogany Two-Tier Triangular Table
Regular price
$19,500
This rosewood two-tier table by Louis Majorelle exemplifies the designer’s mastery of organic form and sculptural detail within the French Art Nouveau movement. The table features a shield-shaped upper tier with a concealed drawer and gracefully bowed legs that lend a sense of motion and lightness to the piece. Majorelle’s inventive approach to ornamentation is evident in the gilt bronze drawer pull, modeled after the sagittaire flèche d’eau (arrowhead plant), whose elongated, tapering leaves subtly echo the contours of the human pelvic girdle—a striking fusion of botanical and anatomical inspiration. The table’s legs terminate in gilt bronze sabots, their warm luster providing a refined counterpoint to the deep, polished rosewood. Together, these elements demonstrate Majorelle’s belief that furniture could transcend function to become a living expression of nature’s elegance and vitality.
